Why Leadership Breaks Under Pressure

Leadership doesn’t usually break because of poor strategy, lack of effort, or missing skills — it breaks under pressure. In this episode of The Energy CEO Show, Gina Soleil explores how pressure hijacks clarity, pulls leaders into urgency, and quietly fractures decision-making and presence long before anyone realizes it’s happening. You’ll learn why urgency is not excellence, how leaders default to control, speed, or over-functioning when their internal system is overwhelmed, and what it actually takes to stabilize clarity under real-world demands. This conversation is for leaders navigating sustained pressure, complexity, or change who want to lead with steadiness, integrity, and capacity when the stakes are high.
